SPECIFICATION for-mine part of Letters Patent No. 357,895, dated February l5, 1887.

.Application iilcd November 10, 1886. Serial No. 218.459. (No model.)

To all wwm/ t may concern:

Be it known that I, MAGGIE BARDILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Groton, in the county of Brown and Territory of Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wash-Boilers; and I do declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked thereon, which forni a part of this specication.

This invention relates to sectional washboilers and holders.

The object ot this invention is to provide simple, convenient, light, and eicient mea-ns for supporting the parts of a sectional washboiler, and to that end it consistsin the novel features hereinafter sett'orth andclaimed, and shown in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective View of the sectional boiler and holder. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view, and Fig. 8 is a perspective View ofthe holder.

The boiler comprises the two sections A and B, each complete in itself and forming a sep arate vessel'. The two sections, when put together, present the appearance of an ordinary wash-boiler of that type having rounded ends. The section A has side handles, a, and cover a', and thc section B has corresponding handles, b, and cover b. The sections can be moved about as one boiler by-supportingthem in a holder, the form shown being preferred, because of its lightness in weight, neatness in appearance, simplicity of construction, and openness of structure, whereby theheat of the fire can strike directly upon thevbottoni of the sections of the boiler, and not be conducted away and lost, as would be the case if the holder were closed, and especially'so if the bottom were in one piece, instead of a skeleton rim or frame, as shown.

The holder consists of the supporting-rim D, wire guard O, connecting-wires E and E', and the bails F. The supporting-rim has its outer `edge conforming to the outline of the boiler, and upwardly hanged and embracing a portion of the sides of the boiler. It projects inward a sucient distance to insure a firm purchase for the boiler.

located directly beneath the junctionof the e two sections, and not only braces the opposite sides of the rim, to which ils ends are secured, but supports the inner ends ofthe sections of the boiler, and prevents the smoke and heat ascending between the ends of said parts.

The wire guard is held to the rim by the connecting-wires E and E. The connectingwires E', which are located near each end diainetricall y opposite each other, are coiled about theguardwirc and extended beyond the same in an upward direction, and terminate in eyes, to which the ends of the bails F are attached.

By having the boiler made in sections dii`- ferent articles of clot-hing can be boiled at one and the same time, and each be separated from the other. Again, each section can be lifted oif or on the stove independently of the other, thus rendering comparatively light the laundry-work of housekeepers, as the strain incident to the lifting ot' heavy boilers is done away with.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination,with the sectional washboiler, ofthe holder having an open bottom, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The co1nbination,witl1 the sectional washboiler, of the open-bottom holder having a strip located directly beneath the junction of said sections, substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. The herein-described holder, comprising the supporting-rim, the wire guard C, the connecting-wires E E', said wires E projecting upward beyond the wire guard, and the bails attached to the extended ends of wires E, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MAGGIE BARDILL.
